A VISIT TO GOTHAM AND NATION'S CAPITAL. ?1? GRAPHIC PICTURE OF TWO FAMOUS CITIES PORTRAYED BY . A CLOSE OBSERVER. Editor Countv Record:? * We reached Washington during a very warm spell, but notwithstanding the weather we had the energy to see everything of interest. Next day we called on Mr Ragsdale, who politely took us around the city in his beautiful auto and pointed out many places of interest, and also gave us cards of admission to the * ' TT T> Senate ana tne riouse 01 i\epic??-ijiatives. We wrote home and gained several votes for him.so the old saying that politeness always pays must be true, if only to the amount of a few votes. We heard the Vice President speak and hoped to hear the L * i President, but did not know of the dark cloud hanging over his home at that time?the illness of his \vife. b r I We went to his church?the Central Presbyterian, Rev Dr Taylor, pastor ?the last Sunday we were in Washington. The President, accompanied by a private detective, came and sat on the front seat. Wishing to go through the White House, we went into Mr Tumulty's office. He gave us permits to go all over the place and also furnished a guide. After a week's stay in Washing ten we set out for New York and landed at the magnificent Pennsylvania railroad station on Thirty-sec, ond street. As our boarding house was on Eighteenth street, it took us but a very short time to reach it. Our boarding place was pleasantly located near Stuyvesant park,to which we often went and watched the faces of the thousands who flock there, people of every clime and nation, and, no wonder.as they pour in daily through the gate of Eilis Island. There is a boat leaving New York every half hour for Ellis Island, carrying passengers free. We went ***A- ? ^ on^ CQUT tKo lm 4 ?

Since * the outbreak of this war, however, immigration has greatly fallen off and many have been thrown out of v employment. The war has been the subject of many beautiful and eloquent sermons and addresses we heard in the different churches and tents. We went very often to the big tent in the upper part of New York and to Tent Evangel on Twenty-fourth street and heard some of the most eloquent men from all parts of the United States and Europe and thoroughly enjoyed them. Many of them had to cancel their engagements here to return home across the water at the beginning of hostilities. Dr- -Meyer of London, who preached at the Episcopal marble collegiate church on Fifth avenue, was one of these. In these meetings fuvo iitoi* qc fa trkofkor was U13LUOOCU bllio noi c*o tv vtiivwiiv& or not it is to be identified with the great war of nations, the Armageddon of Scripture prophesied in Daniel, Zechariah and Revelation. Whatever it all means, this greatest of all wars,preceded by earthquakes - and famines,. must certainly have a deep significance. Many prayers were sent up that out of this great affliction would rise a better humanity and a closer dependence on Divine guidance. Among the speakers were Bob Jones of Alabama, called the "Billy Sunday" of the South, and Dr?Wharton of Baltimore, an ex-Confederate veteran. His experiences in the army and his capture by the Federals were very amusing. une sunaay morning we ?tm iu Judson Memorial church, expecting to hear Dr Judson preach, but werei I disappointed, as he was off on his vacation. A young student ureached. This church is beautiful and veryquaint, and while sitting there we thought of the great Baptist missionary to Burma, the father of the present Dr Adijoram Judson, the pastor of the church, and for whom it is named. Among the most interesting places to which we went was the Jerry McAuley mission in the Bowery, the place Dickens speaks of in his American Notes,and the place Thackeray was so anxious to see ? "shady in ways and shady in books." This mission was established forty T-. v- V { | two years ago by Jerry McAuley, a "down and out" who is now dead, but his dear old wife nearly always comes. We alighted from the car at Brooklyn bridge, descended to the street below, and had a creepy feeling, though the street was brightly lighted, went on until we got to the hall right under the bridge. The polite attendant at the door took us up to the front, and the place commenced filling with men whose deeply lined faces showed the manner of lives they had lived. The speaker on rvlof (rti-m hurl hppn LUC piai lUi JIJ, *? UV illillOVlA im . MVV*< a "down and out", was that night celebrating the tenth anniversary of his conversion. One man told of how he was picked up in a drunken brawl, taken to Bellevue hospital, saw men groaning- and dying around him,and how he was helped to health ' and work by this mission. Manymore arose and gave their testimonies. Another mission which we enjoyed was Dr Kain's, or ^Eighth avenue, which does worlds of good. The Salvation army headquarters, on Fourteenth street, was a place we frequently visited. The Labor tern/\n 1?aii *?f aam t of rnnf nroc pit", QI9U UII 1 UUl vccmu outtt, nao once a Presbyterian church, but as the neighborhood commenced filling with foreigners the members moved up town, and it has been converted into a hall for the use of the laboring f?eople, to discuss the issues of the day. Those who frequent this place are Poles and Italians. One night we listened to a debate as to whether the United States would be benefited by the abolition of the Monroe Doctrine, and the intelligent manner in which they handled the subject astonished us and made it more convincing that we must not judge altogether by the outward appearance. A woman (Italian) then discussed the Socialist question and said violence is necessary to bring about the reform between the rich in their stone mansions on Fifth avonno nnrl thp nnnr in t.hp slums on the East Side, and brought out as examples the Revolutions in France and England. You must now go with me into the crowded regions of Wall and Mott streets, though,as a missionary from China once said, one gets almost lonesome in New York for people in comparison with China. One bright morning we took a surface car which earrieu us down Broadway, past the magnificent Woolworth building, with its fiftyseven stories, its walls of pink marble from Greece, costing many million dollars, past grand old Trinity oVinrrtVi itc ancient tnmhctnnp? all so verj close to busy, bustling Wall street; and, then, alighting at Brooklyn bridge, we strolled into Mott street, the heart of China Town. There are the merchant tailors and the restaurants,but the sight we liked best was the little slanteyed children. We felt out of place among so many hundred Chinese, who lined the sidewalks,but as there were other sightseers, we took heart. Most of us know of the summer outings given to the children of the slums by the Christian Herald. Thousands are sent out to Mont Lawn during the sunyner, and so we set out one morning to the great, big Bible House to see some of them go. Thev are sent one hundred at a time three times a week. We were taken in the elevator up to the fifth story and sat while they were being prepared for their delightful trip?littie children who live in the direst; poverty. A lady, doctor and two others examine their eyes, throats and chests,and if all is right they are put into a room to wait till all can go; down the broad staircase in a body. We watched them getting into a car especially provided for'.hem, and how they clapped their hands in joy and glee! None over twelve years i old might go, and a few boys were turned down on that account. The little fellows wept bitterly as, with heads hanging down, they marched silently back to their homes of povHow To Give Quinine To Children. FEBRILINEis the trade-mark name given to an improved Quiuiue. It is a Tasteless Syrup, pleasant to take and does not disturb the stomach. Children take it and never know it is Quinine. Also especially adapted to adults who cannot take ordinary Quinine. Does not nauseate nor cause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try it the next time you need Quinine for any purpose. Ask for 2-ounce original package. The j name FEBRILINE is blown in bottle. 25 cents. erty. That charity is one of the most beautiful in the city of New York, and it makes one love the I Christian Herald more than ever. Another charity, though the manager says it must not be called a charity, but a good bargain, is the "Deep Sea Hotel," established by Mr Arbuckle, of coffee reputation. It is a ship made into a home for poor girls, whose wages are low. They are charged a small sum and must have something left to buy clothes. This ship is fastened in the dock in the East river at the foot of Twenty-third street. As we walked up the gangplank we were met by the affable manager, who carried us all over the boat, down into the bedrooms and into the nicely furnished parlor,with its piano, magazines and DaDers for the amusement of the girls in their leisure moments. The laundry, with its soap, starch and electrically heated irons, is free to them. The ship some years back made trips out to sea, but after the Gen Slocum disaster Mr Arbuckle said he would never forgive himself if it should get burned, and so he made it fast in the dock. This boat accommodates about forty boarders, under the supervision of a pleasant, middle-aged lady. That is not all Mr Arbuckle has done. There is a smaller boat for poor young men, which every evening at six o'clock is brought up to the girls' boat. They get in and spend a few pleasant hours with the girls dancing and playingcheckers.leavingat 10 o'clock, sharp. The Bronx was a regular journey from where we lived. Our landlady gave us luncji, and we boarded an elevated express one morning to j spend the day there. It would take much longer than a day to look at all the animals and flowers, but we filled up our time as best we could. A crowd was drawn by the snakes, among which was a royal python from India, twenty-six feet long and whose colorings and markings % i i a ?, _ 1 _ were singularly oeautuui. An elephant, bearing the name of Gunda, with its feet chained to the ground, received a great deal of sympathy. Several criticisms came out in the | Times condemning the way he was i kept in such close confinement. The I managers claim that he is danger' ous. It would take a long time to put j down every interesting tning we saw, and for fear of tiring the reader, it may be best to stop. Among these is the juvenile court, where children are tried fqr breaking windows and doing all kinds of bad things and then sent to a reformatory. The public baths are most complete and have every convenience for the poor people. The aquarium is a, wonderful place, having the greatest of fish to the small est. The art museums, the museums of natural history, the Eden Musee, with its "chamber of horrors", would take too long to describe. One painting of a girl, by one of the fine old artists, seemed actually alive. The Grand Central station, about the middle of the city, is the great beginning and ending of the underground lines. It seemed so strange to be flying along under the great, busy city and under the East and Hudson rivers.and stranger still that there are so few accidents. It needs health and strength to take in the sights of a city like New York, and the people at home expected to see shadows of our former selves after seven weeks of such continuous onfivitu M CM.
